At NYCC, Ernie Hudson was asked if he would do Ghostbusters 4 if they “threw” it at him. Hudson responded, “If they threw it, I would be honored to do it. I’ve heard rumors they’re writing a new one, so we’ll see.”
See you in 30 years…
Yes, have some!
Man, I hope Afterlife knocks it out of the park Box Office wise.
Hoo boy. 
It stands to reason Sony/Ghost Corps will be putting together plans for a sequel, as Afterlife is the perfect jumping point… Whether the film’s successfull enough to get “Ghostbusters 4” made is of course the big question. 
I heard that:
they’ll shoot it next fall
Bill Murray will be in it only if they kill him off in the first reel
the leader will be Oscar and will be revealed that he’s Venkman’s son
Bill Murray received a first draft of the script, shred it and sent it back with a note who said: “No one wants to pay to see old fat men chasing ghosts”
they may ask Ben Stiller to star in it.
Hey! Ghostbusters 4 is REAL NOT A LIE!
On the Happy Sad Podcast, Reitman made new comments on Vigo but could have just been acting flippant and throwing it out there.
Oh boy, I really hope they’re smart enough not to use Vigo again.
Using Gozer again was fine, but next time we need a new villain.
I heard that podcast early in the week before it became “news” and I thought it was completely him being flippant.
The interviewer was wondering why there was no Vigo reference and if that meant the 2nd movie was not Canon. Jason said that is not true and to humor the guy in the spur of the moment come up with the idea there could be more paintings of Vigo. I had no sense it’s something he really wants to do at all.
The fact this is a thread at all just blows my mind. Haha
I was about 12-13ish when i first started on these boards back when some of us were all at Chad’s GB.NET
If you told me back then “GB3” will happen in about 20 years, and then discussion will move over toward Gb4 rumors…im not sure how my mind would accept that information, but im glad were here now.
I gave my thoughts on the Vigo bit in the afterlife chat. I think Gozer worked as a “full circle” deal for afterlife..but going back to Vigo would just seem uninventive. I would like to see a River of Slime return..i think thats just such a cool concept and should be expanded on in the films.
What if however we bring Yonosz back? This time hes more of an ally to the GBs..he begins to suspect he has other haunted artifacts in his museum and he asks the Gbs for help?
Wouldn’t it be an ocean at this point?
Well, we know that SOMETHING will happen, right? Jason wouldn’t have put the ECU shot in the after credit scenes if he didn’t have an idea about where to go from here.
Plenty of meat left on the Ghostbusters bone, bring on the sequel!
Hey..America! What a country..
I would love to see a different team of paranormal eliminators try to push the GBs out of business. The idea of competing teams is something that’s only been used in the comics really, and it would be cool to see some human antagonists.
Yes especially since that’s how competition works in real life. Any successful product or trend will always have imitators grabbing a part of the market share
Now THAT would be interesting to have: an adaption of the Ghost Smashers. Hell, bring in Chevy Chase as Ron Alexander with the same back story from the comics (bitter he wasn’t hired to be a GB back in their heyday), have his team and tech be the reason for the recent surge of NYC ghost activity AND the cause of the big bad boss battle (something along the lines of the Chimera they fought in the comics… minus the Death dues ex machina). The 3 OGs would have active roles, though perhaps not field work (Ray handling calls and helping maintain the tech, Winston handling the financial end of things and assisting on proper training (more like giving advice of what NOT to do), and Venkman could be in charge of PR and marketing (which would keep Venkman as part of the crew, but in such a role that Murray wouldn’t have to show up if he didn’t feel like it). With the current crisis being man made, say forcefully tearing a rip in the dimensional barriers, not everything would go back to “normal” at the end of the film allowing ghosts and other entities to enter the world.
Can we have Christina Ricci play his assistant, boss or philanthropic benefactor?
